ghost/aliens in in a format he might like.

>ghost/aliens
That one looks kinda fun for him, thanks.

Any recommendations of books playing it straight? And I don't think he'd like all the new agey bullshit that was trendy back in the day either. One would think it was a more popular theme for fiction books back in the day, but I'm really having a tough time trying to find something like this.

Books on remote viewing because it was a real government program.

I really liked the Young Oxford Book of Aliens when I was maybe that age or younger. It's a genre god tier collection of golden age SF short stories, lots of variety, lots of big name authors (Arthur C. Clarke, Avram Davidson, Philip K. Dick, Harry Harrison, and A.E. van Vogt, among others).

One last bump

fuckin' love Jose Chung's From Outer Space. It's the best x-files episode, no doubt. I've watched all of the x-files, but this is the only episode I've permanently kept on my hard drive. It's golden. Pure gold.

>>10023714
Yup, easily the best episode of the entire show.

>>10023714
Agreed.

If we're going by Darin Morgan's episodes, I liked Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose much better.

>>10023803
This guy knows what's up, Darin Morgan is GOAT. Clyde Bruckman and the carnie episode are the greatest episodes in the series.

It's a great episode but you need to watch a decent number of other x-files episodes to appreciate it

Communion is the famous one

It's known for being oddly eerie, also I know lots of people who think that Strieber is schizophrenic and experiencing encounters with demons, not aliens, and that they are using him to popularize the concept of consorting with them

oh yeah, and Communion the movie is insane. Christopher Walken plays Whitely Shrieber

Scene from the film, towards the end Walken and his wife go to an art museum (?) then stand in front of Pollock and Katz paintings while they rant about aliens.

Wait a minute, THEY think Strieber is a nutjob?

Hilarious sci-fi mixed in with that dank ass absurdism.
Literally a must read
